As a Player this round, I am looking for weapons. Preferably, someone willing to fight, but I am also open to considering vowing with others simply for their sake. I have experience with many weapon types; however I may need to practice if your weapon is a sword.

I am open to responses here or I can be found in the courtyard for the remainder of the evening. Female, short hair, glasses.

[And one more thing...] Furthermore, if anyone tries to vow with Latvia or Lithuania, I suggest you treat them VERY well.

ill be the girl with long brown hair in a ponytail.

text; -> action?

[independencesong]

Blonde in glasses. See you.

[And when the time comes, Estonia can be found already sitting out in the courtyard, trying to relax and playing around with her PDA.]

action!

[graysniper]

[About 5 minutes later, a young girl enters the foyer dressed in a series of clothes that can only be called futuristic. The pants are form fitting and made of some sort of shiny material that are soundless when she moves, ending in knee high boots with white clasps around the top. Her top seems to be made of the same material and covers her body from the wrists up to her throat with a similar clasp to keep the two folds together. Around her right wrist is a thick gray bracelet that looks electronic in nature.

When Theta sees Estonia, the blonde in the glasses, she heads on over and gives her a shameless look over, assessing her strength.]

You're the one who wanted to vow, right?

[independencesong]

[Estonia, in her school uniform, is obviously enthralled by the stranger's getup. She's looking Theta over, none too subtly, but not unpleasantly. Setting her PDA aside, she stands, slender and lanky and with a general aura of 'nerd' that should be disarming for battle's sake, if nothing else.]

Yes, I am. [She does a quick adjustment of her glasses, then holds a hand out.] Estonia.

[graysniper]

[For a minute Theta hesitates, watching that hand with cautious eyes. After a moment she finally takes it, giving it a quick hand clasp before letting go. Disarming or not, there's only one person in the world she trusts right now.]

... Theta. How long have you been here?

[independencesong]

This is my second week. And yourself?

[graysniper]

Just got here. Anything I should know before we get started? [Not that she won't take anything said with a grain of salt, but older players are usually the best source of information in a place like this. She would have preferred someone with more experience than two weeks but... well, whatever.]

[independencesong]

Have you read the rulebook? That pretty well covers everything. This is round two, so pretty much everyone else is in the same boat in terms of newness, except for a few Prefects who've been here a lot longer.

[graysniper]

You mean that antique? I've touched the first two chapters.

[Because seriously, who uses books in this day and age? And for that matter, who even assimilates knowledge through written words anymore? Weird.]

[independencesong]

[Estonia wrinkles her nose. Don't say 'antique' like it might be a bad thing around someone who's been hording books since writing found its way to her region, years and years agp.]

You should finish it tonight. There are some interesting things to know.

[graysniper]

[To the girl who's used to holographic touch screens and information transmitted directly to the brain through her neurons? It's an antique.]

I'll give it a shot but it's been an eon since anyone's used those letters. You're lucky I even knew it.

[independencesong]

I can read it to you, if you'd prefer. It's just something I prefer my Weapons to know.

[She's already been teaching her little brother to read for the past week. Everything is weird, but she'll adjust.]

[graysniper]

I don't "prefer," actually. I said I'll try and I will. [The words might be biting but her voice is rather conversational, lacking the actual harsh tone required to accent her statement.]

[independencesong]

Very well. Just offering my assistance. Are there any questions or issues you have, before we do any vowing?
